to muslims like Pro who lie about the religion of peace, Christians in Iraq, Egypt, Palestine, ecc ARE persecuted…i live in the Middle East and i know PERSECUTED Christians who flew their countries because of muslims…so give us a break…
Allah’s Apostle said: I have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Mohammad is Allah’s apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property from me except from Islamic laws, and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."
Also al-Bukhari mentioned that Mohammad said, "Know that paradise is under the shades of swords."
Dr. M. Khan the translator of Sahih al-Bukhari into English, had this to say in the introduction to his translation:
"Allah revealed in Sura Bara’at (Repentance, IX) the order to discard (all) obligations (covenants, etc), and commanded the Muslims to fight against all the Pagans as well as against the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) if they do not embrace Islam, till they pay the Jizia (a tax levied on the Jews and Christians) with willing submission and feel themselves subdued (as it is revealed in 9:29). So the Muslims were not permitted to abandon “the fighting” against them (Pagans, Jews and Christians) and to reconcile with them and to suspend hostilities against them for an unlimited period while they are strong and have the ability to fight against them. So at first “the fighting” was forbidden, then it was permitted, and after that it was made obligatory."
Al-Ghazali (died AH 505, that is AD 1127) who earned the title “hoggat al-Islam, meaning rock of Islam”, some five centuries after the time of Mohammad, is not apologetic in stressing the use of force in the preservation and progress of Islam:
“After the death of Mohammad, the man of the miracle [the Qur’an] and the apostle of truth and the companions, fearing the weakening of Islam, the decrease of the number of its followers, and the return of masses to their previous infidelity, saw that holy war and invading other countries for the sake of Allah, smashing the faces of the infidels with the sword and making people enter the religion of Allah as the most worthy of all tasks and better than all sciences.”
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
subjection to anti-Christ? subjection to man-made intolerant cult? NEVER.
Enough with your goody-goody dhimmitude Pro…no matter how “nice” you might present it, and no matter how you explain the word, the verse is clear : superiority and subjucation.
No thx…Jesus set us free…not to fall back in backward hands of cults.
